Today, we had a maths quiz on Fractions and the children also learnt addition and subtraction of like fractions. They were each tested on an oral mental sum (a different one for each child) on fractions before going for recess. That was their ticket for recess.
For English, they had silent reading while I go through each child their composition (return of the composition test) to them. C - content and L - Language. They are to rewrite their composition as homework, to introduce better descriptive language and to improve their tenses.
They then went through more tips on writing narratives and took notes. They ran out of time trying to write 'How to write well' in their journal - about one paragraph or two, and so they had to bring it back to do as homework. They just need to elaborate on the notes taken and also based on what they remembered.
Tomorrow, I will be away in the afternoon and the children will be doing further practice in their writing as well as to do their written work on addition and subtraction of fractions. Once again, written work has been arranged for reinforcement in class.
